TEXT:
Sanders & Bowman (2012) Genetic Analysis: An Integrated Approach
(Required)
a la Carte 1st Edition | ISBN-10: 0321813987
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1) Gain an understanding of both Classical and Molecular genetic concepts
2) Develop the mathematical skills required for the analysis of genetic information
3) Gain an understanding of the scientific techniques used in the study of genetics
4) Strengthen the ability to critically read scientific material
5) Develop the ability to apply 1), 2), 3) and 4) toward the analysis of genetic questions
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
Southern Illinois University Carbondale is committed to providing a safe and healthy
environment for study and work. Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our
control, we ask that you become familiar with the SIUC Emergency Response Plan and Building
Emergency Response Team (BERT) program. Emergency response information is available on posters
in buildings on campus, available on BERT's website at www.bert.siu.edu, Department of Safety's
website www.dps.siu.edu (disaster drop down) and in Emergency Response Guideline pamphlet. Know
how to respond to each type of emergency. Instructors will provide guidance and direction to students
in the classroom in the event of an emergency affecting your location. It is important that you follow
these instructions and stay with your instructor during an evacuation or sheltering emergency. The
Building Emergency Response Team will provide assistance to your instructor in evacuating the
building or sheltering within the facility.
GRADING:
Your grade will be based upon the evaluation of three (3) hourly exams (100 pts each), a
comprehensive final exam (100 pts) & 15 weekly quizzes (every Fri, 5 pts each). Thirteen (13) quizzes
will be for CREDIT (65 pts) and 2 quizzes will for EXTRA CREDIT (10 pts). Missed quizzes cannot
be made-up. Each of the three hourly exams, in addition to the material after Exam III, will be present
on the comprehensive final. Students are expected to take the course exams at the scheduled dates &
times unless the student’s absence has been officially excused BY ME PRIOR to the date of the exam.
Students may request a make-up exam given proper documentation. Extra credit points may be earned
from three (3) short library research papers (5 pts each). Extra credit assignments are to be submitted
IN CLASS. NO EARLY, LATE or ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Letter
grades will be determined as:
418-465 pts. = A
372-417 pts. = B
325-371 pts. = C
279-324 pts. = D
90%
80%
